Metro Detroit's Newest Buckeye!
Congratulations to Brian and Kelly Gebby on the birth of their first child. Colin Patrick Gebby arrived into the world at 9:07 a.m. on Friday, February 29 – A Leap Year Baby!
Although Colin arrived more than three weeks earlier than the doctor expected, both mother and child are healthy and doing well. Brian and Kelly are surely quite proud of their five pound and twelve ounce bundle of joy.
Over the years, Brian Gebby has served as Club President, Board Member, Webmaster and Newsletter Editor. The newsletters he produced were recognized for excellence by the OSUAA in Columbus. Thanks Brian for all your hard work. We wish you and your family the best.
